Zohran Mamdani Holds Huge Lead

Zohran Mamdani leads Andrew Cuomo by 10-18 points in multiple polls as early voting surpasses 165,000 ballots, reflecting strong voter turnout and progressive support.

  • On Thursday, a new poll showed Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani leading independent Andrew M. Cuomo by 16 points as campaigns enter their final days in New York City.
  • Driven by younger voters, Mamdani's momentum is powered by strong support from younger and progressive voters and a campaign focused on housing affordability and public-safety reform.
  • The Quinnipiac University poll found 911 likely New York City voters sampled from October 23 to October 27, with a +/-4.0 percentage-point margin of error.
  • With early voting underway and Election Day on Nov. 4, the central question is whether Cuomo can mount a serious comeback or if Mamdani's lead will hold firm.
  • Early returns show about 79,409 ballots cast on day one and 165,190 citywide in two days, with voter turnout, messaging and demographics shaping the final outcome.
